Sleep Apnea Treatment in Dr. Selçuk Güney ENT Clinic (Vital Fulya Clinic)
About the clinic
Sleep apnea treatment at the Dr. Selçuk Güney ENT Clinic (Vital Fulya Clinic) in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on identifying and correcting physical airway obstructions. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Selçuk Güney leads the facility, which holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish government. The medical team specializes in advanced diagnostic testing and surgical interventions for patients with sleep-disordered breathing.
Advanced sleep diagnostics
To determine the cause of breathing pauses during sleep, the clinic performs a detailed medical evaluation. Patients undergo testing at the Vital Fulya facility in Şişli, which operates in a modern, earthquake-resistant smart building. Diagnostic steps include:
- Polysomnography. This overnight sleep test uses 33-channel recording following AASM standards.
- Sleep endoscopy. Doctors observe the airway while the patient is sedated to find the blockage site.
- Flexible nasopharyngoscope. This tool allows for a visual examination of the nasal and throat passages.
- Epworth Sleep Scale assessment. A clinical tool used to measure daytime sleepiness levels.
Surgical treatment options
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Selçuk Güney is a graduate of Hacettepe University and completed international research at Tel-Aviv University. He focuses on surgical techniques that address the root cause of snoring and apnea. The clinic offers specialized procedures based on the patient's anatomy:
- Tongue root stretching surgery. This procedure targets the base of the tongue, which causes obstruction in about 80% of cases.
- Multi-level obstruction surgery. The surgeon treats two different blockage points during the same session.
- Endovision examination. Dr. Güney uses specialized imaging to guide surgical planning and sinus interventions.
Specialized care for international patients
The clinic provides several services to help patients traveling from abroad. Patients can request an online consultation before making travel arrangements to Turkey. This allows the medical team to review previous tests and discuss potential treatment plans. The facility's authorization certificate confirms it meets the national standards for serving international healthcare seekers.

How are we doing?
Dr. Selçuk Güney ENT Clinic (Vital Fulya Clinic): more details about the clinic
Dr. Selçuk Güney ENT Clinic is a private single-specialty medical facility in Istanbul. Founded in 1995, it sits within Vital Fulya Plaza in the Şişli district. The practice focuses on otolaryngology and facial aesthetics under Associate Professor Dr. Selçuk Güney.
Accreditations and Professional Standing
The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate. This confirms the facility meets official standards for treating patients from abroad.
Dr. Güney graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine. He completed his specialization in 1996 at Istanbul Göztepe Training and Research Hospital. His background includes international research at Tel-Aviv University through an Israel MASHAV scholarship.
Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialization
The clinic provides surgical and medical treatments for various ENT conditions. Rhinology and sinus surgery are the primary focus areas.
Specialists treat several ENT conditions:
- Chronic sinusitis through advanced surgical intervention
- Sleep apnea and snoring using multi-level obstruction analysis
- Eustachian tube problems and middle ear issues
- Tonsillitis and adenoid problems in children
- Head and neck tumors
For sleep apnea, the clinic offers polysomnography (sleep testing) with 33-channel monitoring. This diagnostic tool records brain functions, oxygen levels, and diaphragm movements during sleep. Surgeons can address multiple obstruction points in a single session to improve breathing.
Pediatric care focuses on children with breathing difficulties or recurrent infections. Common procedures include tonsil removal and managing ear problems related to adenoids.
Facial Aesthetics and Paralysis Care
The clinic applies its ENT expertise to Mimicplasty – a specialized framework for facial interventions. This approach focuses on balancing muscle power rather than standard aesthetic treatments. It addresses both cosmetic concerns and functional issues like facial asymmetry or synkinesis.
Facial services include several non-surgical methods:
- Targeted Botox injections to correct muscle power balance
- Hyaluronic acid fillers for volume and contour
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy
- Growth hormone-based skin treatments
Dr. Güney emphasizes precise muscle targeting to avoid functional loss or increased wrinkles. During consultations, he uses online image sharing to show patients expected results for rhinoplasty or facial procedures.
Diagnostic Equipment and Technology
The clinic uses specialized tools to evaluate the ear, nose, and throat. Diagnostic imaging and hearing assessments happen on-site, so treatment plans are tailored to each patient. Surgery is recommended only when medical management falls short.
Available diagnostic technologies include:
- Endovision – endoscopic examination for internal assessment
- Flexible nasopharyngoscope – for comfortable viewing of nasal passages
- Amplivox 270 – an audio device that measures precise hearing loss parameters
- Ear microscopy – for detailed visualization of the ear canal and eardrum
- CT scans and laryngoscopy for tumor or sinus evaluation
The clinic is housed in a smart building that is fully earthquake-resistant. The facility includes sterilization units and modern fire protection systems.

Dr. Selçuk Güney ENT Clinic primarily treats patients from abroad. The facility serves individuals from the USA, England, Germany, the Netherlands, and several Middle Eastern countries. The website is available in seven languages.
